About:
Rshijack is a command-line utility designed for TCP connection hijacking, allowing users to take over existing established connections. It works by injecting malicious packets into a live session, enabling the manipulation of data flow between two endpoints. This tool is primarily used for network security testing and auditing to demonstrate vulnerabilities in TCP implementations.
Key Features:
  • Real-time packet injection into established TCP sessions
  • Low-level raw socket manipulation for precise control
  • Command-line interface for automation and scripting
  • Cross-platform support (Linux, BSD, macOS)
Use Cases:
  • Security auditing to test network resilience against session hijacking
  • Educational demonstrations of TCP protocol vulnerabilities
  • Forensic analysis of network traffic manipulation scenarios
Alternatives:
  • Scapy – General-purpose packet manipulation library; more verbose but supports broader protocols
  • Ettercap – Comprehensive MITM suite; includes hijacking but heavier and less focused on raw TCP injection
